Embedded System Engineer

About the Role

At Morphedo, Embedded Systems Engineers design and build the nervous system of mission-critical devices. You will architect complete embedded solutions where hardware and firmware operate seamlessly under unpredictable, unforgiving conditions.

From ICU wards with unstable electricity to high-altitude defence outposts and aerospace deployments, your systems must function with precision, resilience, and compliance.

This is not a narrow role. You will own the embedded stack end-to-end: PCB architecture, power systems, sensor integration, communication protocols, firmware development, validation, and regulatory alignment.

Problem Statements Youll Solve

• How can we design a portable medical device that delivers accurate diagnostics despite voltage fluctuations and EMI-heavy environments?
• How do we build soldier-worn embedded systems that guarantee 24/7 uptime in extreme temperature and pressure conditions?
• How can ultra-low-power IoT devices operate reliably for years in remote municipal infrastructure?
• How do we ensure seamless hardwarefirmware synchronization while meeting ISO, IEC, and MIL-STD requirements?
• How can we ruggedize embedded electronics without compromising performance, size, or energy efficiency?

Key Responsibilities

1. Embedded Hardware Architecture & Design

• Design, prototype, and validate multi-layer PCBs for embedded and IoT systems.
• Architect analog and digital subsystems including:
• Power management circuits
• Sensor front-end circuits
• Communication interfaces
• Signal conditioning and filtering
• Select and qualify components for rugged, high-reliability environments.
• Perform root-cause analysis of hardware failures and implement corrective measures.
• Support EMI/EMC testing and certification processes.
• Drive hardware ruggedization for aerospace and defence deployments.

2. Embedded Firmware Development

• Develop real-time firmware in C/C++ for ARM-based MCUs.
• Work with RTOS-based architectures for deterministic, mission-critical systems.
• Implement robust drivers for:
• I2C, SPI, UART, CAN
• BLE, LoRa, and other wireless protocols
• Optimize firmware for ultra-low-power performance.
• Conduct debugging, profiling, and system-level validation.
• Ensure efficient memory and resource management in constrained environments.

3. HardwareFirmware Integration

• Lead board bring-up and hardwarefirmware synchronization.
• Ensure signal integrity and accurate data acquisition.
• Validate sensor integration and communication robustness.
• Troubleshoot system-level issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical and industrial design teams for enclosure constraints and thermal management.

4. Testing, Validation & Compliance

• Develop validation plans for embedded systems.
• Ensure compliance with:
• ISO and IEC standards (medical)
• EMC/EMI regulations
• MIL-STD requirements (defence/aerospace)
• Maintain detailed documentation of design files, firmware revisions, testing procedures, and compliance records.
• Participate in certification support activities.

5. Cross-Functional Collaboration & R&D

• Work with AI/ML teams for sensor-driven intelligence and edge processing.
• Support production and DFM (Design for Manufacturing) alignment.
• Contribute to feasibility studies and next-gen R&D proposals.
• Continuously evaluate emerging components, tools, and design methodologies.

Required Qualifications

• B.Tech / M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, Embedded Systems, or related field.
• 1-4 years of hands-on experience in embedded hardware and firmware development.
• Proficiency in:
• PCB design tools (Altium, Eagle, KiCAD)
• C/C++ programming for embedded systems
• ARM-based microcontrollers
• RTOS environments
• Strong understanding of:
• Communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, BLE, LoRa)
• Power management design
• EMI/EMC principles
• Low-power system optimization
• Experience using debugging tools such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.

Preferred Experience (Good to Have)

• Exposure to medical, aerospace, or defence-grade systems.
• Experience in ruggedization techniques.
• Familiarity with certification workflows.
• Knowledge of secure boot, firmware encryption, or secure communication stacks.
• Experience with edge AI or sensor fusion systems.

Culture & Mindset

• Research-driven engineer with strong curiosity for emerging technologies.
• Detail-obsessed with a quality-first mindset.
• Resilient in long R&D cycles with high uncertainty.
• Strong ownership mindset with accountability for complete system performance.
• Collaborative and aligned with a solve for Bharat mission.

Why Join Morphedo?

• Work on next-generation deep-tech innovations across aerospace, defence, medical, and energy domains.
• Architect real-world mission systems, not just prototypes.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams in a cutting-edge R&D ecosystem.
• Build products that directly impact healthcare, national security, and infrastructure.
• Accelerate your growth in a fast-scaling deep-tech company.
